The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts that information security analysts will be among the fastest-growing occupations through 2022. CompTIA's Security+ certificate is widely regarded as the entry-level certificate for this fast-growing field. Getting that certificate requires passing CompTIA's challenging SY0-401 exam.

This course covers the key terminology and concepts you need to know to ace the exam, all in a condensed format for rapid reading. The course provides helpful study tools including crossword puzzles, games, and practice questions to aid with learning. All of the content is geared toward helping you pass the SY0-401 exam so you can leave the test center with your Security+ certificate in hand.

Please note that if you received your Comp TIA Security+ certification before 1/1/2011, you will be a lifetime credential holder not subject to credential renewals. However, if you achieve your certification after 1/1/2011, you are subject to a CompTIA Security+ renewal process every three years.
